apple design, wide border,plastic cheesy looks...
Looks much better than kindle 1 though! is it compatible with Apple?
I still prefer the looks of the sony PRS-505 over this one,and can't help to think I've made a great purchase with it,and am glad I did not wait for the kindle2...

The only thing I do like over the Sony is it's ultra sleek design.
Also,the Sony reader is made out of plastic too, but has 'metallic paint',as well as a metal edge on the top and bottom which makes it indeed feel colder.
I rather would have seen a silicon-rubber layer finish which is warmer,and allows better grip.
